Without any official statement, I would confidently assume 4e setting. They will almost definitely have a page at the beginning explaining where-how to use it in other campaign settings.

I almost always describe rooms and hallways without drawing them at all. To me, the players get a stronger sense of the cramped and small-ness of a dungeon, or the large expanse, if I describe it without putting a couple lines on the table. When they get into a combat I lay out the room, but I...

Loved the setting, not a fan of the fans. I played exclusively in KoK though most of 3rd edition. It's biggest strength is the real-world-like setup. A lot of people say it's boring because there's not some huge big-bad sitting right around the corner. To me, that means I can do as I please...

Because only an aberrant could find use for them...

Forked from: The Player's Handbook Miniatures This is a question I had on minis use; do you design more encounters based on what minis you have, or move the minis around what encounter you want? I tend to lean towards an amalgam of the two, in which I don't often pick monsters for minis I...

I'm sort of OCD when it comes to categorizing minis. I have them all sorted for RPG use in baggies, then organized in storage containers. container 1 Humans - Classes and styles (i.e. barbarians/thugs, armored fighter-type, wizard/warlock, clerics, rogue/rangers, asian influenced, town folk...

Couldn't be happier about the decision. The visualizer added nothing to actual game-play or planning. It was an aesthetic addition that would provide little more than I can get from a cursory google search. The virtual table, while nifty, would probably never get used by me. My group...

Agreed on both parts. Everyone has their preference; my group didn't think the repaint cleric of cuthbert was better because they preferred the other color scheme. My main beef with the druid is there's about 4-5 female elf druids, and it just didn't live up to the awesome that some of the...

I've picked up almost all of these so far. My favorites are: Goliath Barbarian - Even with the green paint job he's frickin' awesome. Great mini with an awesome action pose. Eladrin Ice Wizard - Just wow. That's how you make wizards lookin' cool. Redone Cuthbert - proving that they're...

I bought it for the fluff; wasn't particularly excited about the rules. I plan on running a saga system version at some point.

Yup Did not have money and magic items are actually all artifact-like in my game. Can't buy them. 4e Bugbears don't have the level adjustment. In the game I'm running, it wasn't that the Bugbear was "not allowed", it was more that they "didn't exist". The player picked the statistic...

Forked from: When someone plays something you don't like Ok, I have to ask. Who has actually had a Drizzt-clone in their game? I have been running games for 10 years now and have never encountered what I'd consider a Drizzt-clone. My criteria would be: Drow of good alignment, Ranger...

Thanks, everyone! The thread has helped free up some of that blockage I'm dealin' with. Though I am still conflicted on what to do about it, I'm less concerned with the consequences. One thing I haven't been considering was the over-all incompitency of those in power. The heroes are focusing...

I'm just using it as a loose analogy. Obviously it does in the end (the story was already written). Imagine if, in a game you're running, the PC forgoes the training to become a knight to head off and fight the badguy, despite the warning that he's not ready. He hasn't advanced in level to...

Hmm... Maybe I'm alone on this, then. I try to do a strong mix of plot and character development, but have been struggling with this campaign. I guess my question should be, then. When you end up in this situation, what would you do? Obviously, staying out of the situation is a great idea...

And the alternative is minis that all look drab and boring (think the argument made about 1st person shooters being just differing grays and browns), and stuff that would push the bounds of a PG rating too much. I, personally, think it's better than previous iterations of the Harpy mini in DDM...

Oh. God. Yes. Just a few examples: Played in a Planescape game where a guy's wizard was from "our world" and had 20 intelligence and 18 wisdom (despite being a "fry cook" in "our world). He played him as completely dumb and easy to manipulate (something that his stats didn't fit with)...

My group is currently level 12 (in 4e) and rapidly moving toward the end of the campaign. Originally, I intended the game to go from 5th level to about 19th, with the overall plot being a war brewing between the Yuan-ti and the human empire. At 12th level, I'm feeling tugs between the game...

Big hit for me. This is like Ktulu's minis he needs for his friggin' game set. Seriously, in my campaign, Medusae are part of the Yuan-ti; agents who drank the blood-of-zehir. I use snake-swarms, and can't get enough of them. Wow. Talk about getting me excited. Favorites are, without a...

As I stated above, they have provided a number of human female warrior characters. Taking into account WotC's guess of 20% of the market, the fact that there's at least 5 human female warriors with swords (not just minis that look human), seems pretty reasonable. If you account for all...
